Over $10.1 million dollars have been raised for UNICEF's work in helping children across the world thanks to teams of celebrities getting together for the fourth Soccer Aid at Manchester's Old Trafford Stadium on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the U.K. government pledged to match all funds raised through donations for the global charity.

"The huge public response to the Soccer Aid appeal shows that those watching tonight's game are united not only by a love of football but by a fantastic generosity of spirit. We will reflect that spirit by matching pound for pound from our existing aid budget all public donations, helping UNICEF reach hundreds of thousands more children in east and west Africa," said International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell, according to media reports.
